Excerpt from Germanization and Americanization: ComparedSome years ago a Western priest, pious and erudite, applied skillfully the knife to the canker of uncanonical treatment of priests. He wielded his mighty pen against arbitrary power and the evils ¿owing therefrom. That he was successful in rooting out the undermining in¿uence of despotism needs no elaborate discussion a simple perusal of the decrees of the III. Plenary Council of Baltimore is sufficient. The Council embodied in its legislation laws tending to abolish the abuse of power, against which the mighty canonical warrior alluded to above wielded the weapon of his intellect. The learned doctor, fully equipped with the instruments of Canon Law, and the higher law of charity and justice, was submissive to established authority. He was apprehensive that his disclosures would give birth to higher handed exercise of Czarism, in its most odious and aggravated form still he braved the raging, fuming, and threatening monster with sang-froia' born of an equitable cause. The justice of his undertaking necessarily involved the idea of success. Before sending his book on a mission of mercy, he challenged the world to show a phrase or line not in perfect accord with faith, morals, discipline, or Christian charity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
